Trump on Kavanaugh accuser: ‘If she shows up and makes a credible showing, that’ll be very interesting, and we’ll have to make a decision’

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters this morning before his departure to view the damage from Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas and appeared to hint that Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination could be at risk depending on what comes up at any hearing with Christine Blasey Ford:

“Look, if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that’ll be very interesting, and we’ll have to make a decision, but I can only say this — he is such an outstanding man, very hard for me to imagine anything happened.”

Did Pres Trump signal that Brett Kavanaugh's nomination could be in jeopardy, depending on what Christine Blasey Ford says to the Senate?

"Look, if she shows up, and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting. We'll have to make a decision."

Trump this morning on the accuser: "Look, if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that'll be very interesting, and we'll have to make a decision, but I can only say this — he is such an outstanding man, very hard for me to imagine anything happened."

Libs were quick to pounce, saying the president is “hedging his bets”:

When you see Republican Senators spinning about how now they can’t call Dr. Blasey Ford whatever names they want and ignore her and nobody will care, watch this clip of Trump hedging his bets. This is Trump, mind you. https://t.co/Hbp9kHFP7z
